Overview

The thermometer is another crucial, yet commonly, overlooked tool for espresso lovers. Clip it to the inside of the frothing pitcher and watch the dial. Using a thermometer takes the guesswork out of frothing and steaming. Note: These thermometers are a commercial style. They do not have an absolute zero point. The dial may rest as far back as the 200° mark when cool.

Tip: Your milk should reach (but not exceed) 160°.

Don't put in the milk till warm to touch (using stainless steel pitcher), as the clip doesn't last long.

Works Great

Overall Rating:

I was not getting my milk hot enough. This little device really helped me get my milk frothing skills up to speed quickly. I also used it to test the temperature of the water in my old drip coffee maker. It was only 170 F as it hit the ground coffee! I immediately ordered a Technivorm and am now enjoying much better drip coffee, as well as incredible espresso from my new Expobar Office Lever. Thanks WLL, I am in coffee heaven.

What's Best About this Product?
It responds very quickly, giving you accurate and important information on your quest for a great cup of coffee.

Some Helpful Tips For Using this Product
Not just for frothing milk, although it does work very well for that job.

I agree perfectly with the other reviews. This thing is great. As a newbie I thought I had no idea that my temps were so low! I get it right every time now.

I love this thermometer! Have owned many over the years and this is the best by far. Large dial is VERY easy to read, and it responds quickly and smoothly as you steam. I usually steam very small batches (I prefer macciatos and cappucinos) and the temperature tends to go up very quickly - this thermometer really keeps up so no mistakes with overheating. Even though this is probably a few $ more than you can buy one for, this is definitely worth the difference.
